Today's guests, Professor Angela Daly and Dr Riccardo Vecellio Segate, both members of the Smart Cobotics Centre are going to be talking to us about, among other things Encoding Ethical Principles for Collaborative Robots in the workplace: Occupational safety, EU law and Legal Jazz.

Collaborative Robots or Cobots as they are called, increasingly work alongside humans in shared environments, and so questions arise about how to ensure the health and safety of workers.

We'll examine the challenges posed by these innovative technologies, from the gaps in current recent law, regulation and technical standards to the potential benefits and ethical dilemmas of entrusting Cobots with safety enforcement.

We are going to go into depth on the new paper: Encoding the Enforcement of Safety Standards into Smart Robots to Harness Their Computing Sophistication and Collaborative Potential: A Legal Risk Assessment for European Union Policymakers so please read!
